Question 1
All questions are related to their leadership principles
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Nov 2015
Interview
was flown out to boston and put up in a hotel with a rental while uncle Jeff picked up the bill. I interviewed with two people individually but fellow co-workers stated they were cross interviewed by 2-3 people at a time. Do your homework with the math problem.

Question 1
Basically, they want to know why you would consider yourself a good leader
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tampa, FL) in Oct 2016
Interview
Online assessments to determine how you think and how you would react as an Area Manager. Behavioral questions in a one-on-one in-person interview. Two 45-minutes questions. They flew me to Florida, paid for my hotel and rental car. It was all through university program and a military program. Forty candidates. We were not competing against each other. If you are qualified, you will get the job.

Question 1
Why Amazon? Google behavioral or interview questions by Amazon and you'll find a list of questions they ask. Also, I connected with several current Amazon Area Managers to get an idea of the job and how best to interview for guidance. That really helped, too.
